<P>Folks, I have the following (or attached) ModemData.txt file produced and am not sure what it's all telling me.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The ESS.com modem has been installed for a while and, with this modem alone, showed that Linux does not support it.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The Tiger Jet, I'm told, is an ISDN device, installed in preparation for asterisk (Phone PBX). Am I properly understanding that Intel has a Linux driver? It looks like driver updates are no longer being made.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Thank you!</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Tom D.<BR>Denver</P>
